Due to shortage of water in the early days, there was little hay raised by the Minersville settlers. To supple-ment the small supply, the ranchers, farmers and stock-men would make regular trips to the Yellow Banks, 20 miles north of Minersville, and sickle the native grasses which grew in abundance on the banks of the Beaver River, hauling the hay by ox team and mule team to store in their fields for winter feeding.
At this time the main traveled road came down the canyon to the south from Parowan, through this settle-ment and then east to Beaver. With the advent of the Pony Express and the stage coach, the road branched toward the southwest and passed the Hot Springs, 18 miles west of Minersville.

James Henry Rollins kept the first open house, or hotel, on the LeFevre lot. Here, too, were stabled the horses used on the coaches for the express.. He was also the first postmaster and, in 1859, Elders Lyman and Rich ordained him Bishop of Minersville.
FIFTEEN MEN FILL BISHOP'S OFFICE

The first house, built of logs, was erected on the LeFevre lot by William Barton, who later sold it to John H. Rollins. The pioneer houses of those days were crude affairs, built of roughly-hewn logs, dirt roofs and dirt
